Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says a U.S. air base in Jordan is targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles on Tuesday. In a statement carried by Iran’s Fars News, the IRGC says it launched ballistic missiles at the base and calls on Jordanians to “dismantle” American bases in the kingdom. The statement also asserts that Iran has “no enmity” toward Jordanians, and frames the message in the context of supporting Palestinians.
A Reuters report cited by Al-Monitor adds that U.S. military activity related to the attack ends after about five hours. The provided accounts focus on the IRGC’s claim of the strike and the U.S. response timeframe, without offering additional details on damage, casualties, or the specific base targeted.
Across the sources, the common elements are the IRGC’s claim of ballistic missile targeting of a U.S. air base in Jordan, the messaging directed at Jordanian authorities and the public, and the indication that U.S. military actions conclude after several hours.
